The Superhero Cafe is going to be amazing if this surpasses BvS. Take a note, DC: audiences like it when you respect your source material, characters and tell a coherent story.

I'm a DC fan but I'm not upset. It's just a movie. Why are you guys trying to bait DC lovers? Not a single one has said anything negative so far. It's just Marvel guys.

Can't wait to see it!

Between the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Extended Universe there is no competition. Also marvel's tv shows are by far better IMHO.

I agree. Right now there's not contest for me, though my expectations are high for Suicide Squad, and I hope that'll be the start of a great DC Extended Universe. They're rushing the things a lot, just look at BvS ending... More character work is needed.

Based on the reviews, I expect it to be a 6 or 7/10.

Iron Man 2 was dull, and 3 was just bad. Thor 2 wasn't bad, but what they did with the Dark Elves, making them space aliens with ships and lasers, was just stupid, and the movie itself overall was "meh". Even Avengers 2, after the first one being so good, was kind of a mess, and they made Ultron a very uncompelling villain, which was sad.

So basically I'm banking off the fact that Cap 2 was REALLY good, arguably the best Marvel Universe movie yet, and that these directors know what they're doing, and using that to hold out optimism that they'll also make Cap 3 good. Or perhaps that they'll even get Avengers back on track and both parts of 3 (Hollywood these days lol), will also be good again.

But yes, short version: I am allowing myself to be at least mildly hyped for this, and I hope that it doesn't disappoint.

i agree, in my opinion Iron Man 1, Captain America 2, Avengers 1 were the only REALLY good ones while the rest range from bad to decent.

Ultron could have been really good but it was wayyyy to similar to the first one.

When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I don't understand this rationale. I like both brands. I grew reading both and for most of my life DC's animated and live action adaptions were far superior to Marvel. This was fan and critic consensus.

Til this day, Kevin Conroy is the voice of Batman for me, Tim Daly is Superman, Dana Delaney is Lois, and of course Mark Hamil is Joker. Batman and Superman are hugely popular figures. Maybe people just didn't like the movie.

I tag this to have it in my Buddy. I just hope the movie doesn't want to achieve too much at once and that there won't be only chaos with so many characters and enough time to show Black Panther properly!

I won't read reviews about it before I've seen it.
